BREAKING: We're suing Marco Rubio and the State Department on behalf of @lawfaremedia.org for violating the Case Act by failing to make international agreements public, including about deportations, defense sales, Ukrainian minerals and nuclear cooperation.

Telling courts that refunds would be "automatic" and "assured" was the government's way of avoiding emergency relief.

We should reckon with the idea that Americans are so fucking dumb that we booted out the party that saved the country after Covid and created the best economic recovery in the world in favor of a con man who said he would use racism and magic to make everything cheaper and jobs plentiful.

a graph of the year-on-year % change in Newspaper jobs

Total newspaper employment growth rates fell to the lowest levels since early COVID in data released this morning—and this data does not cover the February layoffs at the Washington Post.

Fewer than 80k people now work at newspapers in the United States.

James Talarico: "Our economy is broken. Our political system is broken. Even our relationships with each other feel broken. And that's because the most powerful people in the world want it that way. The real fight is not right vs. left. It is top vs. bottom."

nobody seems to fucking get this!!!! "the enemy gets a vote" but moreover trump/israel deliberately killed all the people at the top controlling the enemy, which does not destroy the enemy but in fact turns them into a dozen new, smaller enemies!! I feel like i'm going fucking insane

I’m frankly a bit surprised Trump fired Noem. It shows weakness and reminds people that accountability is possible.

get a load of Kristi Noem's facial expressions as Rep. Kamlager-Dove enters articles in the congressional record with headlines like, "Lewandowski taking out trash at Noem's DC home" and "ICE Barbie's mile high private chamber with alleged lover exposed"

A longtime Interior Department official is on leave after he warned that the agency that oversees oil rigs in the waters off Alaska was dangerously understaffed, according to two people familiar with the situation.
Justin Miller, who has headed the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement's
Alaska office since 2022, went on leave just days after POLITICO reported he had publicly warned agency counterparts that his office lacked the staffing to oversee existing oil operations in Alaska - let alone a massive expansion being pushed by the Trump administration.

So there are a few ships making the Hormuz run, but in tiny numbers and not big ones.

By contrast, you can see the huge cloud of ships waiting outside the strait on either side.

Until there are more ships moving in the strait than sitting outside, the USA/Israel is not winning.

What a life.

Read this. Whenever we make progress there are Bernard LaFayette’s doing the work.

And there are Bernard LaFayette’s today, in Los Angeles, in Chicago, in Minneapolis, & across the country.

Where things stand with the Department of War A statement from Dario Amodei

I think one of the most staggering industry shifts in my 16 years as a tech reporter is that it’s not become a question of “should our product help the government kill and/or surveil people?” but “to what extent?”

So the fact that we bombed a girls elementary school, while likely using AI for targeting, is going to be a major headline story dominating American news coverage when exactly?
